Originally recorded in 2013 for Critical Transit, here is a wide-ranging conversation that started with me interviewing Ian about his experiences getting free rides in cars with strangers. Hitchhiking is still a popular (and cheap) form of transit for hikers and others; I've even done it a few times with a bike. We also talk about finding vegan food in tough situations and muse about transit and bikes (we're also joined by Minku of the Vegan Pedicab).

Do you use hitchhiking to get around? Let us know and we'll share your experience.
